Radical Autonomy @ Netwerk, Aalst

More and more art is supposed to serve a(n) (art)theoretical or a political discourse, to cause an effect, to ‘do something’. Radical Autonomy counters this tendency by showing that art is capable of proposing an alternative and possibly better society, precisely because of its autonomous position. The participating artists share a conceptual approach and a minimalist design, while influenced by conceptual art, Fluxus and Zero. Their works are a radically autonomous: they are intimate, condensed, referring to themselves and force the beholder to focus.
